Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta has once again grabbed everyone's attention with his recent tweet. The filmmaker wrote that he went to watch a Malayalam movie at a theatre, and he was the only one in his screen. However, in the next screen, his son was watching Obsession, and the theatre was packed with kids, who were mostly underage.

He tweeted, "Yesterday evening I went for a just released Malayalam film and I was the only one in the theatre. In the next screen my son was watching OBSESSION and the theatre was packed with kids most of whom were underage. It’s amazing how this film is sensation all over (sic)."
